wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Congrats to @NCGOP on becoming the encyclopedia example of a dummymander. I hope this will motivate you to spend less time suppressing voters and more time delivering for them!
There might not be a wider gulf in perception vs reality than what people think librarians do all day vs the bullshit they actually have to deal with on a daily basis
Jeffries opponents on the left are making a meal of this - members who just ducked out for a pointless post-election reception are getting their AIPAC tracker number shot back at them, accused of secretly supporting the Iran War, etc.
Skip the reception, go to work! Simple as.
The actual disgrace here is one particular person: Katherine Clark, the Democratic whip, whose job, literally, is to make sure Democratic representatives show up to vote.
Instead, an organization she cofounded runs an event exactly at the same time as the vote.
Either Katherine Clark is incompetent, or is a liar who believes everyone is an idiot.
Either way, she’s not qualified to be a representative, let alone to be in a leadership role.
Actually, I had back surgery yesterday and checked myself out of the hospital this morning to make sure I voted to IMPEACH Hegseth.
He’s the most incompetent & immoral SecDef in history and he needs to go!
FDR was very explicit when creating the minimum wage that it should be a livable wage.
This idea that minimum wage jobs are starter jobs is corporate propaganda used to defend paying people substandard wages.
Having one of those days where I mourn the loss of the usable internet. It's become so degraded and empty, so full of bullshit and devoid of life, so much more difficult to navigate and enjoy. It's all platforms, products, sponsored posts, scams, scams, scams.
Split screen at Capitol Hill today:
Hakeem Jeffries is arguing that he should be the leader of the Democrats — and then, as the current leader, he couldn’t get enough Democrats to show up to impeach Pete Hegseth
